What is the secret to living the Christian life? In Romans 7 Paul says the phrase &#8216;I do&#8217; 6 times. The Chapter ends with &#8216;O wretched man that I am who will deliver me from the body of\u00a0 this death?&#8217; \u00a0In Chapter 8 we find ourselves In Christ and Christ in us and the chapter ends with &#8216;we are more than conquerors&#8217;. So I find the answer to our question is &#8216;I cannot live the Christian life&#8217;. It&#8217;s something He repoduces through me. In Chapter 8 verses 3 and 4 we find the c<em>ommencement of fullness,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0when Christ comdemns our flesh in Himself on the cross. In verse 4 we find that through Calvary He offered us a higher law than sin and death&#8217;s law. In verse 4 there is the <em>continuance of fullness,<\/em> when Paul tells us to walk in the spirit. On occasions my wife and I have walked together. She is not so much concerned\u00a0with the direction of the walk, but the distance. She will ask &#8216;how far are we going to walk&#8217;? We must walk with Him the whole distance, all the way to His house. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we continue to muse in Romans 8 on our theme of Possessing Our Position I want to pose a question.
